Suddenly the skies open up

What a difference a weather system can bring. We are in a small monsoon, the temps have dropped to 58 degrees this morning and we have had two or three inches of rain. Very refreshing, after the heat of the last couple of weeks.

Here is a few pix (all by Curt, of St Mary's GA) of a boat I would like to look at in the next day or so;

This could be the right boat for us, small and interesting, can carry two couples to shore and back.

Does anyone know anything about changing out a steering hub? Apparently it is frozen, which I would expect from a vessel a year older than myself. The Boss is excited about this boat, compared with some of the others I have been looking at. Something about boats (and Cars!) that came out in the 60's that seem exciting. Their designs seem to express a positive hope of a future with new, better and bigger things. Forget the stodginess and practicalities of the forties, this is the Sixties!
